Eeek.

The Elann yarn got here. You know, the stuff for the Geometric Star. I ripped open the box and dumped it all out on the couch.My head swam a little bit and I swear I got dizzy. But I separated the colors into piles and put it in a more orderly pile and turned on the full-spectrum light, and, well, I think the colors work.Even having written a couple articles on color theory and knitting, I'm amazed it looks this good. The blues on the left will be used for the stars and the backgrounds of the hexagons, and the other colors on the right will be used for the small patterns inside the hexagons.

This is going to be either the coolest project in the whole world, or an utter disaster. I can't see any middle of the road, here.

I hope I have enough yarn. (That was a joke.)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go knit like crazy on something. Anything.

(that last post was from amy lane, whose work computer will no longer let her log into blogger, and whose home computer has been capitalized by house trolls doing homework until 10 o'clock for the last three days, effectively cutting off their mother's will to live.)

Backstory

I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles.
I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion.
Nothing but good times ahead.
